EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Paetus and Arria Non Dolet, Paetus and Arria Non Dolet: Die Geschichte von Paetus und Arria" transports us to a moment in history captured by the skilled hand of Benjamin West. This oil on canvas masterpiece showcases an intricate scroll adorned with information, a symbolic artifact that adds depth to the composition. In this scene, we witness the profound connection between Paetus and his wife Arria. The couple's emotions are palpable as they engage in a silent conversation through their gestures. The interior setting provides an intimate backdrop for their exchange, allowing us to delve into their world. Paetus stands tall, embodying strength and determination while holding a dagger—a symbol of power and courage. Meanwhile, Arria gazes at him with unwavering admiration, her expression reflecting love and loyalty towards her husband. West's attention to detail is evident not only in the meticulous rendering of each figure but also in the inclusion of a sculpture bust representing historical significance. It serves as a reminder that this story transcends time and speaks to universal themes of devotion and sacrifice. Signed and dated by West himself—on both lower left ("B. West 1766") and right ("B. West pinxit 1767")—this artwork bears witness to his artistic prowess during his American years (1738-1820). As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back centuries ago when passion knew no bounds.
